Sea level variation is an important key for hazard mitigation in the coastal region to study climate change. In the last decade, reflected GNSS signals have been used in many applications, such as snow, sea level, and ocean storm monitoring. In this research, we use GNSS-Reflectometry co-located with a tide gauge station to monitor sea-level variations. We use the Signal Noise to Ratio (SNR) data to derive sea-level height from GNSS. One-month comparison of sea-level variations has been made from a tide gauge and a GNSS measurement in Barus, North Sumatra Indonesia. The results have a mean bias of about 2 cm with a root mean square error of 11 cm and a correlation coefficient value of 0.90. Our result demonstrates that the GNSS-Reflectometry technique is potential to provide a new approach to monitor sea-level changes that complement the existing tide-gauge networks in Indonesia.
